More a cruise line selection question

[auntydle]

I am researching Alaska cruises in 2023. A local travel agency offers group packages on Princess and NCL. My research shows that NCL probably has better dining options but that Princess has bigger rooms (up to 40 sq ft difference) and bigger closets. I think my main question is this: Just how much hanging closet space is there in a balcony cabin on NCL? Neither website offers any specific information but from the online pictures, it looks like NCL closets are about 2-2.5 feet wide and closets on Princess are about 5-6 feet.

I suggest that you post your question on the NCL Message Board.  

 

When considering dining options, I suggest that you take into account the number of restaurants that charges a fee as compared to the number of restaurants where dining in those restaurants are included in the price you pay for the cruise.

Aunty,

Princess over NCL any day, for Alaska especially. Princess and HAL have the best permits and longest history in AK.

Princess is first choice for Alaska, no brainer.

I also highly recommend Princess ships for the beautiful design, top-notch service and excellent food. You can't go wrong with a Princess cruise.
